nancy knits: work hard, play hard
http://nancyknitsuk.blogspot.com/2012/06/work-hard-play-hard.html
Knitting and baking my way through my PhD. Saturday, 30 June 2012. Work hard, play hard. Note - i wrote this post the other day but never got around to publishing it. Today is especially tough. ooooof. So, on with the post. Juggling both these new workloads tipped me over the edge yesterday and i sat at my desk with tears in my eyes, trying my very best to keep calm and focus on the positives. Luckily, i have managed to negotiate some time off at very short notice so the next week will be spent ploughing...

nancy knits: November 2012
http://nancyknitsuk.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Knitting and baking my way through my PhD. Wednesday, 7 November 2012. I had my viva last week and got the highest mark i possibly could with no corrections. But now life feels a little strange.a little topsy turvy. Sometimes i feel really proud (of course), mostly it doesn't yet feel real and occasionally i feel blue. But now i feel like i have to learn how to just 'be' again, how to relax! This weekend we're off to our local spa up the mountain so it's a good start. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

nancy knits: running out of reserves
http://nancyknitsuk.blogspot.com/2012/07/running-out-of-reserves.html
Knitting and baking my way through my PhD. Thursday, 5 July 2012. Running out of reserves. I'm so tired of this. I feel like i used all my reserves to submit a full draft and now that i have to do corrections it really does feel like it is never ending. But for the times when i don't have the strength to think positively or the strength to formulate more ideas, i rely on a LOT of coffee and enjoy sunbathing in the sun spot in my study.

Knitting and baking my way through my PhD. Saturday, 25 August 2012. I forgot to post this announcement that i shared along with the photo of my finished thesis:. After a long and difficult labour, i am delighted to announce the birth of my doctoral thesis, weighing 267 pages and over 75,000 words long. mum and baby doing well! I should point out the champagne was for me not as a bribe! I will be truly done and dusted! The summer and the internet really don't mix but today is much, much cooler and cloudy...

nancy knits: MOtivation
http://nancyknitsuk.blogspot.com/2012/08/motivation.html
Knitting and baking my way through my PhD. Saturday, 11 August 2012. I just watched mo farah get his second gold medal. WHAT a race and how inspiring to watch someone give it their ALL to get something they really, really want. Today has been really tough as i am REALLY NEARLY there, i am just so tired of it all at this point! My grandfather, peter west, was a commentator (mainly cricket and rugby) and he commentated at the tokyo olympics in 1964. unfortunately i can't find any BBC images of that on-...

http://nancyknitsuk.blogspot.com/2012/05/warrior.html
Knitting and baking my way through my PhD. Saturday, 5 May 2012. So, here i am, blogging again. Life recently has been full - fabulous in many ways but supremely tough in other ways. well, just one - my bastard thesis. I am working in my office at the weekends at the moment. it is a place where i am used to being efficient (in my new job, which i really love) and generally helps me to feel i'm not missing out on fun in the sun since it is in a business district so no-one is around. This is much more exce...
